Tommy Vidal-Mateus, 21, was charged Monday afternoon at the St-Hyacinthe courthouse with hit-and-run causing bodily harm after a pedestrian was hit by two cars Saturday.

Vidal-Mateus — who turned himself in to police over the weekend — was released on $2,000 bail and has several conditions to abide by, including not driving a vehicle and not using drugs. He is also forbidden from going to any establishments that serve alcohol.

Police arrested a second suspect in the double hit-and-run case late Monday morning.

He is expected to appear in court on Tuesday.

For now, police will not say if, or how, the two suspects know each other.

The arrests come after an incident in which two cars hit a 33-year-old man early on Saturday morning. The drivers of both cars failed to stop to help the victim.
